#WriterWednesday Interview with Lisa Bol
/
I’d like to welcome actor, director, and producer, Lisa Bol, to the blog for this week’s #WriterWednesday interview.
Things you never want to run out of: Barry’s decaf tea, honey, almond milk, Pim’s orange cookies, and cozy blankets.
Things you wish you’d never bought: Some organizational storage from Ikea that I still haven’t installed in my daughter’s room.
Hardest thing about being a writer: Scheduling time consistently with my partner.
Easiest thing about being a writer: Ideas and inspiration can come at any time and any place.
A few of your favorite things: The Muppets, perfect spring days in Park Slope, my grandmother’s wedding rings, my husband and my daughter.
Things you need to throw out: Old tech products and chargers and probably half of the condiments in my fridge.
Something you’re really good at: Connecting with people and learning their stories.
Something you’re really bad at: Pull-ups/push-ups or anything that requires upper body strength.
Favorite music or song: Pretty much all Pop, R&B, and Hip-hop from 2000 - 2006.
Music that drives you crazy: Metalcore/deathcore - screaming metal.
Favorite smell: My grandmother’s apple pie baking in the oven.
Something that makes you hold your nose: Entering a subway station anytime between July - August.
Last best thing you ate: General D’s Cauliflower from Planta Queen (think general Tso’s but with breaded cauliflower and grilled pineapple).
Last thing you regret eating: Too many Jelly Belly’s before bed….
Things you’d walk a mile for: The ham and cheese croissant from Yardsale Bakery in Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn. Also, a california cheeseburger, box of fries, and pineapple shake from Gordy’s Hi Hat in Cloquet, MN.
Things that make you want to run screaming from the room: Scary movies, spicy foods, and Timeshare sales pitches.
Favorite places you’ve been: London, Taipei, Muir Woods, and Prague.
Places you never want to go to again: I didn’t have a great experience in Brussels, so I’d pass on that. But I love traveling so much that I’d give basically anywhere I’ve already been a second chance.
People you’d like to invite to dinner: Tina Fey, Amy Pohler, and Maya Rudolph.
People you’d cancel dinner on: Anyone that was sick - with a 4 year old, we’ve been through the ringer health wise, so that would be a deal breaker.
Favorite things to do: Plan trips (and then obviously go on them - I love the researching of it all), go to flea markets and treasure hunt (Elephant’s Trunk!), go for walks with my husband in our neighborhood and discover new bakeries with him.
Things you’d run through a fire or eat bugs to get out of doing: Moving - the whole experience of it - the decluttering, packing hauling, final cleaning all of it.
